INSTRUCTOR: In this first preparation course,

we will learn...

...to breathe...

to relieve the pain of contractions.

Let's get started

Future dad or partner,

take mom's hands in yours.

and we synchronize our respiration.

And we exhale... THEY EXHALE, DAVID LOUDLY

That's right.

TIMOTHÉE: (Stop exhaling like that, you'll stress her out.)

DAVID: I'm stressing her out, seriously?

It's not me who's been talking about organs lowering the whole time.

MORGANE: Guys, I remind you,

I'm in my fourth pregnancy,

so it's a given that my organs are well attached, OK?

- Excuse me, you know, I think there's a little misunderstanding,

I thought you were with madam.

This course is limited to future dads.

- Oh, yeah, no, actually we don't know who it is...

The dad, I mean. Uh...

There are several runners leading the pack, if you know what I mean.

And as they're all very motivated to participate in the course,

well, I admit, it suits me. - (Okay-)

- True, we have a slight doubt about paternity,

but there's a 60% chance that it's me, so-

Fifty-nine percent. Don't be overconfident.

I'm 40, that's something.

- You're changing your mind a lot,

it's your baby one day, you don't want it the next.

Guys, let's relax, may I remind you that our stats are very artisanal,

for what it's worth.

- I'm not changing my mind, I'm thinking, OK?

Unlike you, I knew she was pregnant.

- OK, well if I understand correctly there are two possibilities,

the unknown is also part of the adventure of childbirth!

- No, three. There are 3 possibilities,

we're waiting on the last one, he won't be long.

It's weird because he's rather punctual.

I guess he's lost in the hallways.

MOBILE RINGS Ah.

Oh! Here he is, CHUCKLES MOBILE RINGS

Speak of the devil. MOBILE RINGS

Yeah Kara', where are you?

What? A murder online?

WENDY IS ONLINE: Where are you? What's happening to you?

SOBBING

Tell us you're okay. This is fake.

Awful! What's going on?

CAR DOOR CLOSES

IT'S NOT FAKE! CALL THE POLICE. WE MUST HELP HER

SOBBING, FOOTSTEPS

LATCH OPENS

No no no!

SCREAM

HIGH INTELLECTUAL POTENTIAL

GILLES: The video was viewed 200,000 times. MOSAIC

GILLES: The video was viewed 200,000 times.

Daphné's trying to have it taken down, but it keeps being shared.

MORGANE: Yes! It's fine! I'm here, sorry!

OUT OF BREATH OK, it's fine, I'm here.

What is it? - Homicide. Wendy Veron, 41,

resident of Seclin.

Maybe it's better that you wait for us here, as it's difficult to access.

- Well good morning! ADAM: Hello, good morning.

- Yeah, so we're going to calm down right now, huh?

Because for the last time: I'm not disabled, I'm pregnant, okay?

I can manage very well without anyone's help.

They're already annoying at home when I open a pickle jar,

so we can relax. Let's go, huh?

- As you wish, it's at the end over there.

SIGHS

GRUNTS

- Hold on, hand me that?

- You said 200,000 views in under an hour? That's huge.

ADAM: Was she known? - A bit, she was a family influencer,

posting videos of her and her children on social media.

She geolocated herself by streaming her call for help.

I had a roadblock put up,

we want to keep the curious away.

Thanks.

Dr Benzaoui says she was killed around noon,

matching the time of the video.

Looks like she was killed by a blow to the head.

We didn't find the murder weapon.

- No, don't wait for me, I'm right behind you!

- Signs of sexual assault? - No, none.

But there were defensive wounds on the hands.

Like she tried to scratch her attacker.

The lab is taking samples for analysis. ADAM: Okay.

You said she lives in Secllin? - Mmm.

- It's an hour's drive. - Mm-hmm.

If we want to talk to the husband before the press, we should go.

- Yeah, might as well.

MORGANE: Well, what's the story, huh?

I'll let you finish up? - Uh-huh.

Tell me when you have the lab results on the DNA from the nails.

Morgane, with me?

- Uh, yeah, I'm going to stay here for 5 minutes,

to soak up a little bit of the crime scene, huh?

You go back to the car, huh?

ADAM: Did you say something? - Yeah, I'm coming!

SHE'S OUT OF BREATH

ADAM: See you later. - OK, I'm going back to work.

- Already? - I think so. Come on.

- Whew. OUT OF BREATH - Breathe through your nose.

. . .

- ((Ah fuck. Phew))

MORGANE: What is that?

Hi, Happy Family! So, I dunno about you,

but we have children who don't really like eating vegetables,

So my little tip for making children eat

is give them a funny shape.

Carrots... ready!

And here's the result: a tasty,

colorful, and absolutely delicious pie! Isn't it, kids?

KIDS: Yes! WENDY: Wooo!

CLÉMENT: I haven't told them yet

but they'll soon be asking why she isn't coming back.

MESSAGE ALERT

. . .

Sorry. Her Community.

Since the murder they've been harassing me with mesages for a while.

ADAM: I'm sorry about your wife.

Was she an influencer for a long time?

CLÉMENT: It started when Arthur was born 7 years ago.

She started posting videos

just so our families could see the children.

More and more people started following her.

She realized there was an opportunity in being a full-time mother.

When was the last time you saw Wendy?

CLÉMENT: This morning.

She left to run an errand,

she had to be there at 10, something like that.

ADAM: And where are you between 10 and 3?

CLÉMENT: Here at home.

I was laid off at my company last year.

With what Wendy earns it doesn't make much sense to look elsewhere.

ADAM: She managed her Community by herself?

WENDY: Today is an"unboxing day," I'm advising-

CLÉMENT: She didn't expose the children too much.

ADAM: Were there ever negative impacts

MOBILE RINGS after things she posted?

- Yeah Afida? - Yeah,

we had a call from a girl

about your crime scene. - Yeah?

- Can you put Gilles on?

He doesn't answer my texts. - No, Gilles isn't here.

- How come he's not with you?

I thought you were together. - We were together

but now he's headed back.

Afida, go ahead and tell me what the woman told you.

Well, while walking her dog she saw a guy running away.

But Gilles suddenly left on his own? With who?

GILLES: ...Maybe- - Oh, it's okay, forget it, he's here.

- I don't care, Afida.

Did she give a description? What did she say?

- And the guy, he- LAUGHS DAPHNÉ: I'm still-

- It's still not bad! - No, he did too, like if-

MORGANE: Afida?

- Afida, focus!

What'd she say?

- Brown hair, white sneakers,

navy blue hoodie, and a dinosaur t-shirt.

We talked for a long time. - I'll call you back.

Say...

Could you open your hoodie?

SIREN

HE SIGHS

- So?

An aunt is taking the children.

We're taking the father to the PJ for questioning.

MORGANE: Okay.

- Hi girls, I'm back!

- Have you become a fan?

- Frankly, I don't understand the phenomenon.

The girl has posted her whole life since her second delivery,

but honestly— who's interested?

'Cause it's nothing to this girl, "s'en carre-" * WE DON'T CARE

"-radec"!

'We don't care-adec'! LAUGHS

That was a good one, huh?

And uh, otherwise, uh...

...about the childbirth. Um...

this morning's class wasn't bad.

Well, I'm experienced, it's not my first barbecue, huh?

But Timothée and David, who were there, - Mm-hmm.

- well, they found the course really interesting.

Yes, as I was saying, - Mm-hmm.

- I thought, maybe, eventually, you'd like to come to a class.

Because, mind you, there's one tomorrow morning.

or, if it suits you, there's one on Thursday.

- Um, sorry Morgane, but

I'm not sure I understand what you expect from me here.

- Well, nothing.

I don't expect anything, I wanted

to communicate information, that's all,

to do with what you want.

- Timothée and David are both up for raising children?

You said it yourself, there's not even a 1-in-60 chance

that it's mine. - Yes.

- Right? - Yes!

- Well, in view of the circumstances,

I- I- I- think it's best, uh,

the best is,

to wait for the birth, and then

if by chance it turns out that it is me,

the father, uh, we'll see!

It's reasonable, isn't it? - Yes yes yes, obviously, uh...

Yes, obviously, sure.

- Fine. - You're angry.

- Fine. Yes- no. - You're angry.

No, I- I- I- I- I- I- - I'm not asking anything.

- I- later... - I didn't expect anything, there was...

- No, I understand, I understand, I...

- Hold on. Fuck, it's the same. - 'The same' what?

MORGANE: It's the same car!

It appears in many of Wendy's stories, it followed her.

Oh fuck! Stop him, stop him!

YOU, STOP! HEY!

- Hey hey HEY HEY! POLICE! "STOP"!

DON'T MOVE!

- STOP!

MORGANE: "Stop! Stop!"

Turn off the vehicle!

KNOCKING - Hey, open!

RUMINATES

I thought of a question to ask Wendy Veron.

I can imagine you know.

- Not at all.

- Are you joking?

You park in front of her house, you have your hair done exactly like hers,

and, incidentally,

we found this in your car.

You're a fan of hers?

I'm a huge... fan

Amandine Bernard, media creator of Happy Family Scoops,

as well as Community Manager of the "fan page"— "Wendy Lovers."

ADAM: All right.

Why does a Community Manager hide in her car

and spy on investigating officers?

- Well, I just wanted to make sure that

that you were doing your work correctly.

- Is that all?

- You know, Wendy was very important to a lot of people,

and there are many of us who want Clément to be, ah-

arrested quickly.

- This is crazy.

I've never set foot in that cement plant.

So how do you explain that your clothes match those

of an individual seen at the crime scene? We have a witness.

- I don't know, it must be another invention of that crazy woman.

That woman is completely paranoid!

She's convinced I'm violent and wanted a divorce.

- You're not satisfied with monitoring the investigation,

you're trying to influence it.

You liked a video of Wendy's this morning.

This what her husband was wearing, do you recognize it?

You called us using a false name and described him to us.

- Okay, well I embroidered a little, but...

I had no choice, I had to put you on his trail.

He's the one who killed her.

- Can you prove what you're saying?

- She's been telling her Community for months— uh, look...

In March, she posted this photo

with this comment: "Life is short, enjoy it."

SCOFFS Isn't it clear?

Then, the day of their wedding anniversary,

she posted a message that she deleted 3 minutes later.

She wrote: 'Sometimes it's those you love the most

who hurt you the most.'

And then 2 weeks later: 'I'm signing up for a self-defense course.'

She feared for her life.

- But I'm the one who told her to sign up for the thing!

I was worried for her because of crazy girl was following her everywhere.

I didn't harass her, I protected her!

I thought it would be a mistake to file a complaint.

I knew it would end up going badly. I swear!

- I did everything to save her, and then in the end

and in the end he still killed her.

You have to believe me. RESIGNED SCOFF

The two suspects accuse each other.

On the subject of fan harassment,

the husband's telling the truth, huh?

The victim filed a complaint against her 6 months ago,

for rummaging through her trash.

GILLES: On the couple's problems, there are elements. I have several witnesses

who confided to me that there were

tensions between Wendy and her husband

YOUR BETS! WHO IS THE FATHER OF MORGANE'S BABY?

ever since he got fired and he became financially dependent on her.

- Yeah. So obviously both accusations are credible.

What are you doing, Daphné?

- I- uh, uh, Didier owed me money,

I was putting it away.

CELINE: Hmm.

Oooh!

'Timothée'?

'David.'

'Timothée.'

You're taking bets on the identity of the father of Morgane's baby?

In my DIPJ? Behind my back?

- No, not at all.

Not at all, at all - at all - at all.

We're organizing a small collection for- for a birth gift.

And, well there is a small pool— yes, tiny—

—but which has nothing to do with it, at all.

(Huh.)

- Gilles? - Yes?

- (Would you happen to have-) - (Uh...)

Yes...

... - (Oh, that's- mmm?)

Tell you what: 35 euros on Timothée.

QUIETLY I'll join in. Not for leadership, but

because I'm sure it's him. LAUGHS - Oh, yeah—?

—well yeah. Oh, Commander!

You want to bet too?

- Bet on what?

- Uh, well, on the father of Morgane's baby.

Right now the votes are 3 for David and 78 for high-voltage Jerome,

but in my opinion that's just Marine being funny, because...

- Even if... - No, we don't know whose that is.

- No thank you.

I'd like to look closer at the two suspects, to get a clearer view.

Can we discuss it in your office? - Of course.

- You take care of the husband's report

and I take care of the wife's report? - Yeah, deal.

- Cool. DAPHNÉ: And, Gilles?

Don't forget to bet!

HE LAUGHS - I'm going to wait,

I need to get my money back from her. - Oh, yeah.

GILLES LAUGHING

TIMOTHÉE: It needs a cover, otherwise he can get into it!

DAVID: It's all right, I've got it. - Household accidents are the

leading cause of death among children under 3!

I don't want my son getting electrocuted because

some guy was too lazy to do a quarter-turn with a plastic rod!

- Your son might be stupid, my son

won't put his hands in the sockets!

- My son will be stupid? - Yeah!

- My son stupid— are you sick or what?

What do you mean? My son will write books, he'll be brilliant,

the smartest in the world,

your son will be, will be- a big idiot!

- Are you serious? - Yeah, yeah, I- I'm serious!

DAVID ARGUING, MUFFLED

TIMOTHÉE: You don't have kids.

DAVID: How are you such a pro at fatherhood?

DAVID: Say... I heard you were a virgin

before going to bed with Morgane. TIMOTHÉE: What? Who told you that?

WENDY: Hi Community! Lots of you wrote me

because in a post yesterday I scratched my head.

I assure you, don't worry, there's no problem.

But, in case of an attack of lice,

I remind you of my great natural control method based on coconut oil.

I'll give you a promo code—

—"hurry up," it's good for 24 hours. Bye-bye!

MUFFLED DAVID: It's fine-

TIMOTHÉE: Let go, let me- DAVID: It doesn't matter!

TIMOTHÉE: 'Doesn't matter'? I repaired...

INAUDIBLE ...the dishwasher, so let me-

- Now you're having fun torturing me, huh?

But he who coos last coos best,

'cause I have my eye on you! PIGEON COOS

TIMOTHÉE: Leave it!

Leave it! Let me!

- Those "baby daddies" are annoying!

- Four more weeks before they find out.

- Uh mmm—

—there may be a way to find out more quickly.

- How's that?

- Don't yell at me, okay?

I did the DNA swab test in Belgium.

The results arrived this morning.

- With what money?

- What with your life these days, I got donations from our 3 squatters.

- Someone used my card or something, I'm overdrawn by €1,000.

- Wasn't me, sorry.

Maybe it was Eliott and his porn.

- (Oooh, fuck-) ELIOTT! I'LL GET YOU!

(I didn't open it.)

AFIDA, DISTANT: You wanna do adult stuff, use your mother's card!

Fuck, open the door!

SIGHS

TIMOTHÉE: Stop being macho,

Stop being macho and sexist, coward!

PIGEON COOS

What now?

. . .

Yes, I'll open it.

Shit. When I want to.

TEXT ALERT TIMOTHÉE: She told me that the baby...

Stop saying that! DAVID: It's fine, it's fine.

A LITTLE SELFIE WITH HER 3 DAYS AGO, SO SAD.

- Yes. - No.

- Yes!

- Go make a photocopy, it takes 10 minutes.

- I think she can't stand him. - Well exactly, Gilles! Exactly!

- Fuck! Oh, the idiot.

- She's very pretty, don't you think? - Who's that?

- Daphné. You haven't noticed?

Oh yeah, yeah, super cute, too beautiful,

but I don't really know my type of woman.

Oh yeah? - Yeah.

- You think she's beautiful but don't consider her?

No, she's my colleague, so I can't pay too much attention to her appearance,

but then it's true that she's smart, funny, loyal, and even

quite original- - Okay, I get it.

- Okay, heh. - Hmm.

- You respect her too much to be with her.

- Definitely- no, wait... - Yeah...

SHE LAUGHS - ...we work together- HE YELPS

- MENACINGNever talk to her again. - Huh?

- You choose: it's her, or it's me.

HE GASPS, BABBLES

LANDLINE RINGS DAPHNÉ: Forestier!

WIMPERS

Online content?

Uh, I don't know— who is it? Eh... excuse me?

It's Wendy's web host,

he's asking if he should delete the video that's creating a buzz about the case.

- What video?

- I don't know. What video?

What?

Uh, I'll call you back.

This is it.

- Hi, Happy Family!

I don't know about you, but I've been really pissed off

since Wendy and her stories disappeared.

So, to find out quickly who bumped her off,

I suggest we share together our last memories of Wendy,

under the hashtag #WhoKilledWendy.

Okay? Selfies, candid photos, anecdotes of all kinds—

—I'll. Take. Everytning!

But— caution!

Caution, Community! Be sure not to forget in the comments

to note the date, and the location.

I'm counting on you! Gotta go! "Love love, kiss kiss!"

- What the hell is she doing? MORGANE: Hey. It's going well, huh?

LAUGHS

- Morgane, what've you done now? - Well- what did I do?

I'm gleaning information, that's what I do.

Our victim is monitored 24/7 by her Community, she

can't walk 3 meters down the street without being asked for a selfie,

so I asked them for help.

- You made a call for witnesses without permission.

Yes, well sorry, but it worked out,

because in less than 12 hours I got 863 responses.

So— 99 percent of them

are selfies taken in places she visited regularly,

like the supermarket at the end of the street

where she bought her organic vegetables.

Yes, only the best for her children.

Or like at SCHOOL BELL

Or like at her kids' Montessori school,

where Madam is a 'parent representative.' Please.

The kids look so smart, they look like fakes. LAUGHS

Or like—

at the beauty institute,

—where Madam is expected once a week

to do her nails.

In the remaining 1% there are yet more interesting things, notably—

—four photos that were taken in Tourcoing town center,

an hour's travel from her home.

ADAM: Tourcoing town center?

That's not far from where her body was found.

- Exactly! So I dug a little,

and I noticed that all the photos

were taken next to a tower.

And the tower is called:

Tourcoing Plaza!

DAPHNÉ: It's an office tower,

quite a few companies are based there, small to medium-sized.

You've got a communications agency,

a law firm specializing in divorce law-

- Oh, well there it is!

Our stalker was right, she wanted a divorce.

Yeah, I'm busy with 8 kilos in the belly.

Anyone have something to nibble on, like a granola bar?

Chips? Candy? GILLES & DAPHNÉ: No.

FED UP SIGH

Well, the office doesn't answer and goes to voicemail,

looks like we're going there. Morgane, with me?

- What, now? But- - Yeah, right now.

You're not on vacation.

Hello.

MORGANE OUT OF BREATH

Are you all right? You look out of breath. - No, I'm fine, I'm fine.

It's you, I don't know why you're walking so fast today.

Decide to work off your love handles or something?

- I'll slow down if you want. - You watch it!

You're always slowing me down, talking to me like that.

OK, here it is, Monier & Associates office, 6th floor, "go," come on-

OUT OF SERVICE

Oh shit.

EXASPERATED SIGH

OUT OF BREATH Oh. Yeah.

. . .

Know what?

I don't believe in this lead anymore. . . .

You go up without me.

- I'll keep you informed - That's how we'll do it.

. . . Oh jeez.

Oof.

STOMACH GURGLES, SHE SIGHS

STOMACH GURGLES

Oh no.

Oh jeez.

MOBILE RINGS

Yeah, hello? - Yeah, Morgane?

I'm- are you coming? We'll be late for the appointment. - Huh? What appointment?

- Well, the lactation consultant. Do you need help?

Want me to come get you? - Oh no,

my breastfeeding thing.

Uh... No, listen, it's all right, it's not going to be possible

because I... I'm super busy at work, I'm in Tourcoing.

- What? Wait, wait, it's in 20 minutes.

- Yeah, well, what do you want me to tell you?

Karadec has had me running all over the place since this morning,

only we didn't even have time to eat, you see.

- You're joking! I hope he- he- he knows you're pregnant or-

- He doesn't seem to care! He'll be here soon,

he gave me a hissy fit about my schedule,

if- if- if I want to go pee I have to make a request in triplicate.

Anyway, you see it's- it's- not possible.

Oh jeez, that's it- (fuck!) he saw me making a personal call,

I've gotta let you go.

There!

- €14.10. And your "badge," please.

- Uh, yeah... I forgot it at home.

Can I give it to your tomorrow? - You can't eat here without a "badge."

It's reserved for employees of the building and their guests.

- Seriously? Wait, in the condition I'm in?

- You need a card, it's...

- Great! Really good spirit! No assistance for a person in danger!

Well done! Hello France!

Oh! Great! Perfect!

Hello, I'll have a coffee. Can you give me a dozen Speculoos? ((Thank you!))

ALMA: Hold on, you need a token.

You have to pay for your coffee

at the cash register to get one. DEFEATED SIGH

Free!

- So nice, really. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

MAN1: Have a good "weekend"? MAN2: Yes INAUDIBLE I love it.

MAN3: Did you get it? WOMAN: No, still haven't gotten it.

MAN4: Martial! This afternoon we need you on the desk at 2.

FROM THE PEER OF MARTIAL

- Oh, there you are.

No one in the office recognizes Wendy. I'd say

we came for nothing. - She didn't come to get a divorce,

I figure she came to eat at the canteen.

Look at the tokens.

I found one at the crime scene, they're coffee tokens.

- The victim traveled an hour to have lunch here?

Why?

- Not for the quality of the salami, in my opinion.

No, the question isn't why she came to eat here, but with whom.

Let's go, come on, Kara'. Come on!

Hey, Martial!

So?

You liked it Wendy, huh? Huh? - Huh?

Yeah, well not that much, since you killed her.

You'll see!

- Cmdr Karadec, Judicial Police.

Can you explain to me what my colleague is talking about?

- I- I don't know. - Huh! Oh, this guy, eh?

The bracelet you gave her— you know,

—the one with three little green stones here.

In the box there was a note signed 'Martial,' idiot!

It was him that she came to have lunch with at noon.

STAGE WHISPER In my opinion, they slept together, okay?

When she told him that she hadn't left her husband

for him, he rubbed her out, it's a classic.

You take him to the station, I'll finish this tray so as not to waste it.

- I wasn't sleeping with Wendy, she was just my manager.

- Your manager? - Yes, for my modeling career.

I do marketing in the building,

One noontime, she approached me during a cigarette break,

a case of being spotted while passing by, she thought I had something.

- Some 'thing'?

Again, what 'thing'?

- I don't kn- know. A style.

- Oh yeah?

- And with an influencer of her type, she had quite a few connections,

so she offered to help me break into fashion.

At our lunches she tried to sign me up for auditions,

the bracelet was just to thank her.

I'm not used to someone going to such great lengths for me.

Is she really dead?

- Well yeah, otherwise we wouldn't be here.

- Can you prove what you're saying?

- Uh... yes.

WENDY: Smile, and speak slowly.

- Hi! My name's Martial, I'm 22, 5 foot 11, 143 lbs.

I'm from Terrenoire, I spent part of my childhood in a home,

It wasn't easy, but it made me stronger.

WENDY: Great! You're going to-

- I found the video the suspect was talking about on the victim's cloud,

he's telling the truth. Wendy helped find him auditions.

- Okay, was she a good manager? - On that we can't be sure. Gilles?

- Uh, I called... all the...

I called all the modeling agencies

where Wendy had contacts.

And, uh...

And, uh...

- 'And'?

- Uh... and they never heard of her or Martial.

- Okay, she lied to him. Why? MORGANE: Because she was scamming him!

She dangled fake auditions for money,

and when he found out, SNAPS FINGERS

he whacked her! Let's go, SNAPS FINGERS

he whacked her! Let's go, case closed, "move on"!

- Morgane, stop for 2 seconds, let's not jump to conclusions.

- Especially since we never found a trace of financial exchanges between them,

so it's not him, huh? Gilles?

- Look at my coffee. CHUCKLES

- Gilles?

- Oh yeah, I checked the bank accounts,

he received no transfers or deposits

MORGANE: Okay, - Okay.

MORGANE: Okay, what does that mean?

It means she was paid in kind! The guy was her lover,

and her victim, as I've been saying.

- Gilles! - Hmm?

- Gilles! (What the hell are you doing!)

- I'm drinking very good coffee.

DAPHNÉ: I have an email from the lab

about the cells found under the victim's fingernails.

They haven't finished the analysis, but

apparently some of the DNA contains 'excess genetic material.'

They have to run checks. - 'Excess'?

What does that mean?

- 'A third chromosome 21 on certain cells.' Isn't that weird?

- Your parents will arrive soon.

Do you want something to drink? - No, thank you.

- Look, here they are. Thank you, Daphné.

YANNIS: Alma, how are you?

Are you okay, honey? ADAM: Hello, madam. Cmdr Karadec.

- What's going on? Did something happen to her?

- No, don't worry, don't worry, everything's fine.

We just need to ask Alma a few questions,

but I'd prefer you were present, so...

Please, have a seat. YANNIS: (Okay.)

What are the questions about?

ADAM: Regarding an ongoing investigation.

Alma, do you recognize this person?

- Yes, she has lunch in the cafeteria twice a week.

She always has a strong black coffee, no sugar.

I'm the one who makes them.

- And you only see her in the cafeteria by herself?

(Okay.)

Did she come yesterday?

- No, I don't think so, why? ADAM: You're sure?

Did she have any disputes?

- Well, no. She was with a client.

- Wait, I don't really understand why you're asking her this.

- This woman was murdered, and

she was a regular at the canteen where your daughter works.

- Okay. And?

She can't tell you anything,

hundreds of people eat there every lunchtime,

are you questioning all of them too? - No.

But DNA was taken from under the victim's fingernails,

According to initial analyses, there's excess DNA with a third chromosome 21.

- Are you joking? You suspect her because of her Down syndrome?

- No, at this stage of the investigation we're not drawing any conclusions at all.

But would you allow Alma to submit a sample for genetic analysis,

so that we can make a comparison?

- I didn't do anything to this lady, I swear.

- We know, honey. - Of course you didn't do anything.

- Aren't you ashamed? - No one's accusing Alma of anything.

But, the coincidence is strong, so I have to insist.

- Insist all you want, you're not touching our daughter.

- Coming, honey? Let's go. - Very well.

- It's over, we're going home.

- We'll see you out.

Goodbye Alma. Goodbye.

Employees at the cafeteria I spoke to confirm

that Wendy only got her coffee from Alma.

Alma doesn't have a license,

I don't see her moving the body to the crime scene.

- Mm-hmm. - Can you insist on the DNA testing?

- I don't know, we're already at the limit in terms of procedure.

Ask the lab to please finish its analysis as soon as possible.

They must be sure they didn't make a mistake.

- Mmm.s

- Goodnight. - Goodnight!

CAR DOOR CLOSES

- ((You have to talk to him.))

((Talk to him like that. I want-))

- Good evening Brigadier, if you're looking for Morgane-

- It's Captain now, actually. And...

Morgane went home to rest. It's you I came to see.

- Very well, I'm listening.

- Ahem. Well, I don't know if you even realize, Morgane is 8 months pregnant.

- Mmm.

So if you continue like this, you'll make her have a premature birth.

Or worse. - Premature? What are you talking about?

- I'm talking about the heavy workload

you've been imposing on her for the last 2 days.

Forcing her to work overtime, depriveing her of a lunch break.

I told her to take sick leave to rest, but she's scared of getting fired.

She's on the verge of burnout because of you! ((Excuse me.))

- On the verge of burnout, OK, because of me.

No, because she insists. DERISIVE LAUGH

- You don't even notice. That's the worst.

Listen, we all get that you don't want to be the father of this baby.

And given your chances, we don't blame you.

but this child not being yours doesn't mean this pregnancy doesn't exist.

Listen, if you won't take responsibility

as a father, maybe you could be a proper manager.

Is that clear?

- Very clear.

Thank you, Brigadier.

- ((Captain.))

- Today we will see how the ball can relieve the pain of contractions.

So, we will start with Exercise 6- DOOR OPENS LOUDLY

- Apologies. Pardon, I'm sorry.

INSTRUCTOR: No worries, get settled quickly.

- Ma'am, he has his shoes. - I'll let you take them off. There.

So as I was saying, we will start with an exercise which

is a duo exercise, unfortunately. Those who are...

more numerous can alternate, of course.

- Okay, I'll start. INSTRUCTOR: So...

- Why do you start?

- I don't know, maybe because I was on time, unlike you.

INSTRUCTOR: ...we relax. And we will begin.

Well, who-

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

The third dad, I'm guessing? - Yes.

- Hello. Hello Morgane. INSTRUCTOR: Great.

- Hello. - We're an even number! What we'll do

is that, since you missed the first lessons, I'll put you with the mother-

- Yes? - ...and you can switch out.

Come on, let's quickly get into position with the ball.

INSTRUCTOR: So! As I was telling you,

the mother is firmly sitting on the ball,

and his partner will come and put his arms behind. Like so.

Good, under her arms, behind. And-

Hands a little higher. A little more.

Here, a little higher. There you go.

And then you will be able to stretch the spine.

Stretch...

Yes, good. - Ooh...

- You close your eyes... - Oooh, yeah...

- And try to breathe together.

Yeah, good.

You are there for each other, no matter what.

- ((It's all right, I'm not touching you.))

EXHALES, SIGHS - (Yeah...)

- Oh yeah...

- Fuck, what're you doing? - Sorry.

- Don't touch my ass! - Fine, I won't! relax your pelvis.

It would be really nice if future dads

would stop arguing on the big day, because

the mother will need peace and serenity,

as well as hospital staff.

- No, he's the one getting on my nerves!

- Oh jeez! - What's going on, having contractions?

- What's wrong? - Oh! No no no, everything's fine!

Karadec, we completely messed up with little Alma.

She's not the culprit. She's actually the motive.

Look—

—here... (this is it here. Here.)

WENDY: because in a post yesterday I scratched my head.

- The woman scratched herself. - So?

- 'So,' the cells that we found under her nails

aren't Alma's, they're hers! It's her own DNA!

- The lab's finding is that she has Down syndrome?

- Exactly, that's what's crazy, look!

- Until tomorrow, bye-bye!

- There. Wait, I'll zoom in.

See her palm?

She has a unique palm crease. It's super-rare!

99% of people have 2 lines. Look at your hand.

There you go: 2 lines, 2 lines.

You? Two lines, 2 lines.

Except in people with Down syndrome,

where it is over-represented— —see where I'm going with this?

- Wendy carries the Down syndrome trisomy?

- Yes, but not just any: Mosaic trisomy.

- What's that?

"And now, ladies and gentlemen,

directly from Vegas,

the Chromosome Show!"

A thunderous round of applause for our 23 pairs of chromosomes!

They came, they're all here, all 46!

I didn't want to present all of them, obviously, but:

there is still the pair of sex chromosomes!

XX or XY.

This pair, number 19, is responsible for eye color.

And this one, pair number 16,

my favorite, is the one with the 'red gene'!

They are what interests us, especially here tonight.

They are the smallest and most shy:

Pair number 21!

Because it is on this pair— sometimes—

—on which is grafted the extra chromosome.

And it is this extra chromosome

that is responsible for Down syndrome.

♪ In 99% of cases, ♪

♪ it grafts itself onto- ♪ all the cells of the body!

♪ Yes, but sometimes what happens is ♪

♪ that it only grafts onto- ♪ part of the body's cells!

♪ So it creates many more trisomies ♪

to the point where you can miss out on your whole life!

♪ If you want my opinion, ♪

♪ that's what happened to Wendy. ♪

So Wendy was a carrier without knowing it,

in only some of her DNA?

- Exactly!

- But what, her interaction with Alma was pure coincidence?

- No, not at all! No, actually, parents with mosaic trisomy

are more likely to have children who are also carriers—

♪ And if you want my opinion, ♪

♪ it's not Martial that interested Wendy ♪

♪ when she went to the Tourcoing Plaza... ♪

♪ It was to get closer to Alma. ♪

♪ Because yes, I finally got it... ♪

♪ Alma was her secret baby ♪

- ♪ Secret baby! ♪

♪ Oh, her secret baby! ♪ ♪ - Secret baby! ♪

- Wendy and I were 25. We both wanted to have a family.

She easily got pregnant, the pregnancy was normal,

we were never informed of any problems.

When Alma was born you discovered her disability.

- At first I saw nothing.

But Wendy, she sensed it right away.

She couldn't even hold her. I don't know; it was visceral.

Trimsomy, no trisomy, she was my daughter.

That's what split us up.

So I recognized Alma on my own,

when I married Sophie 2 years later she adopted her.

- And Alma doesn't know her biological mother abandoned her?

- No. No, I...

I knew she was going to be rejected by a lot of people in her life,

I didn't want her to know her mother was one of them.

- And you never saw your ex-girlfriend again after that?

- Almost never, no.

Actually yes, she contacted me about a year ago.

We met in a cafe, and she said that

abandoning Alma had been the biggest mistake of her life,

she thought about her every day, she wanted to see her again.

She even wrote her a letter asking for forgiveness,

offered a fashion internship.

- I imagine you refused to let her get back in touch.

- Obviously I refused. Alma already has a mother.

What good would Wendy's remorse give her?

I gave back her letter, I, I told her to go back to

her perfect little life and forget us.

That's the last time I saw her.

- Sorry for what you went through, Mr Langlais.

But it makes your case worse.

This video was recorded at Tourcoing Plaza two hours before the murder.

You took Wendy by surprise that day. - What? No-

- When you realized she might reveal your secret, you decided to act.

- Not at all, not at all! - Stop taking me for a fool,

was that you in the video or not? - Yes, it's me. But it wasn't Wendy.

- How so? - That day I thought I saw her

when I went to see Alma. I ran after her, to tell her

to leave us alone. But it wasn't her.

It was just a girl who looked like her.

- 'A girl who looked like her'? - Yes!

It was the same haircut, I get so little sleep, I messed up.

- This woman. Was it her?

- Yeah, it was her.

- Amandine really took us for a ride.

Not only did she follow Wendy to Tourcoing Plaza,

she was there on the day of her death.

I'm watching her place while waiting for a warrant.

CELINE: Okay, good luck. Want me to send someone to relieve you?

- No, it's fine.

I'm in charming company. - Very well.

MORGANE SIGHS

. . .

Are you sure you don't want to go home? Because this might last a while.

- Uh— no!

No no, I'm delighted to be here with you. Delighted.

- Morgane, I can manage on my own.

. . . It's just waiting, I thought I was asking too much of you.

I'd rather you tell me than complain behind my back.

- Huh? - Don't you act innocent, I know

you complained about me to Timothée. - Uh, d- wha-?

STAMMERING No, uh... I already... so... uh,

it's nonsense.

I didn't complain, eh? - Really?

- I... did not... complain... about you. Oh jeez!

- How did you find me? - Thanks to a tracker on your phone.

- Huh? - You already make her work overtime,

but also work in the field?

This has to stop! Morgane, tell him!

- She dragged me out here,

she nags me and follows me everywhere!

Tell him! - What?! But-

Step back, move aside!

- Stay here with them.

Put me in prison if necessary, but I'll never betray her secret.

- 'Not raising you was my biggest regret, I think of you every day'?

This is Wendy's letter to her ex, right?

- You knew she abandoned her child?

- Wait... you know?

- No thanks to you.

ADAM: You stole it?

CRYING - I didn't steal it, I found it in the trash.

Six months ago she through it away in front of me, she was sad,

I wanted to know why she was crying.

Wait, I'll call you back. - We're still monitoring.

She needs rest, but one of you can go see her.

I'll let my friends know. Thank you.

Uh, I'm going to go get some coffee.

You'll watch her?

Oh! Kara'! You can tell them to unplug me,

Well...

I guess I won't be ready to arrest a culprit for 20 minutes.

- You need to rest, Morgane.

Your heartbeat is still very fast, is that normal?

- Oh, that isn't me, don't be silly.

who, um...

Did you know in Belgium they can actually do

certain analyses that cannot be done in France?

And it's true that, uh, I suddenly... No!

Well, I say 'I', but it's Thea who did it.

A huge mistake, I agree!

- Sorry?

- Oh fuck, the idiot, she messed up.

- Oh, well here you are!

Good, you're going to tell me if I'm wrong.

Wendy's letter that you found, do we agree it was ambiguous?

I'm moving you a little because you're right in front of my board.

She apologizes for the abandonment- there!

On the other hand, she doesn't give a first name.

So now we don't know who this famous letter is addressed to.

FINALLY REUNITED!

On the other hand, we still learned something major:

Wendy has a secret child. Ha ha!

I AM YOUR MOTHER

Here, take these please. There. Thanks.

Excuse me, I'm sitting down for two minutes, (I can't take it anymore).

Whew!

I imagine once you got this info you must've been completely overexcited.

You follow her for 2 days and nights,

and that's how you find out where she regularly goes:

To Tourcoing Plaza, to have lunch— secretly, if you please— with Martial.

You put two and two together:

Martial is Wendy's secret child.

- And then you decide to lend a helping hand

and reveal to Martial that Wendy is his mother.

And where the mix-up should've fallen apart quite quickly

is that Martial grew up in a foster home.

- ...I spent part of my childhood in a home.

It wasn't easy, but it made me stronger.

And what does Martial say? 'Wendy is obviously my mom,

otherwise why would she be so interested in me, huh?'

And what does he do? He offers her a bracelet.

But wait, he does things right.

Because he doesn't choose just any date.

He offers her the bracelet on:

The 26th of May.

Well, guys? May 26?

MOTHER'S DAY! SHE LAUGHS

Except that contrary to what Martial hoped,

Wendy didn't fall into his arms.

Well, no.

When she understood the mix-up, she was obliged to tell him the truth.

That is to say, that she had used him for access to Alma.

Yeah. So, obviously, the poor guy,

when he realized she didn't give a damn about him—

—well that's where:

- Answer me, are you my mother or not?

Fuck! Answer me!

You used me!

- All right! Yes! Yes, I used you!

I don't give a damn about you, OK?

This was all for Alma! Now get lost!

- Don't you move!

AMANDINE: I just wanted to do what was right.

Always, just to do what was right.

- Yeah, but it was messed up! A beautiful mess. Hmm.
